Ina Garten Reflects On Career As The ‘Barefoot Contessa’

[@patbrosnan7861]

It would be nice if interviewers would be quiet and let the guest speak more. Interviewers always need to be the center of attention. We don’t really care what you think as we tuned in to see Ina.

[@albertamccrary1497]

i agree with you. Ina hardly got to speak. I kept fast forwarding when Jena kept talking.

[@eileenchmielewski1420]

Exactly!

[@cathywallace6990]

AGREE 💯

[@almaandres608]

Hateful ❤

[@kaiedelaware1550]

Yes.

[@ABlueDahlia]

It will be a great day when Jenna realizes that she can let the guest speak.

If every married woman had a husband like Jeffrey……wow! What a sweet and supportive thing to say “you figure it out but you need to do something”. No wonder she adores him so!

[@chrisweber9852]

My favorite chef and I don't care if she was professionally trained, she's a chef. She's not arrogant like so many of these celebrity chefs. She's down to earth and always upbeat. Her recipes always come out good because she makes sure in testing everything is spot on. THANK YOU INA for years of cooking entertainment.

[@janiceweaver6945]

I got to hear her live in St. Louis a few years ago. This woman is brilliant and works like a BOSS!

[@traceytheisen8067]

I so miss Ina and similar cooking shows. She taught me how to cook just by watching her show and reading her books. EVERY recipe turns out perfectly EVERY time. This woman is a gem. Hope she has another 20+ years educating the next gen.

[@StaceeMassey]

I am 37yo and I have been watching Ina from day one. I've always loved her. She is by far my favorite tv cooking show. She has an easy going personality and isn't annoying like some of the other TV chef personalities. Not to mention she cooks the kinds of meals that I would want to eat. To this day, I still used many of her recipes as my go-to's. Love you, Ina. And I love how she feeds Jeffrey all the time. I love to feed my husband and kids.

[@weatherlicious]

No offense to Jenna and Hoda, but they are not a good match. But I can't believe Ina is 74!?!? wow, love her.

[@SamGiles]

Regardless of the setting, Ina has this way of being so calming and warm. Such an inspiring person.

[@wellofcire]

yet hyper beyond explanation....

[@elizabethdaniels51]

She has inspired me to cook for years! It’s her calmness, her intuitiveness and her passion that work for me. I also love how she chooses to be in the moment and doing the thing that’s right in front of her, and doing it well. I totally agree “I have no goals!”

When I see her reminds me of chocolate ganache cup cakes with the purple flower candy on top that they made in the shop which I have made they go rich and she love blue hydrangea in her garden and her favorite color of flower was orange and of course her beautiful white dinnerware and her table setting where beautiful

That's the first thing that came to mind but I've made quite a few things from her cookbooks. Oh...her potato salad that has dill in it....The first time I made it, I actually called my husband at work & told him my eyes had rolled back in my head when I tasted it. He probably thought I was exaggerating...but didn't say so. When he got home & tried the potato salad, he was blown away ! He agreed....it is The Best he's ever eaten. It is amazing !!! It's addictive ! We make it & can almost eat it all right then !!
